Sustainable Development Research Institute, University of British Columbia April 1993—August 2000 In close collaboration with the Director, built the Sustainable Development Research Institute into one of the leadingedge sustainable development research institutes in Canada. The major challenge of this position was to spearhead innovative partnerships and strategic research alliances to maximize the Institute’s resources, as well as broaden its constituency.

National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (NRTEE) October 1988—March 1993 As a member of the original planning team, advised on strategic policy and planning to advance the broad round table concept from the idea stage to the design and creation of a national organization with operational linkages to parallel and yet independent provincial round tables. The major challenge in structuring the NRTEE was to create an independent organization that combined public and private sector resources, produced results that were independent from its stakeholder groups, and yet conformed to federal government practices. As the first Director of Operations: • directed the daytoday activities of a complex multipartite process, ensuring the objectives of the various participants were met. Participants included the Chair, the Executive Committee, four Federal Cabinet Ministers, the Chair of the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment, CEOs of major corporations, environmentalists and academe; led the development of strategic policy inputs into committee and plenary agendas by directing research on a broad range of social, scientific and technical matters, and recommended strategic policy advice to the Prime Minister's Office and central agencies; acted as a pivotal point of contact for the identification of problems by the members, as well as anticipated and resolved any difficulties between staff and the members; recommended strategic and operational linkages with key constituency groups;

As the first Departmental Secretary: • • developed innovative and resourceconscious proposals for structuring the Headquarters, four regional offices and the Ottawa office; developed a longterm communications strategy which helped to overturn the cynicism and skepticism the new Agency encountered among the public in its first six months of operating, as well as an internal communications strategy designed to change existing attitudes and ways of doing business and aimed at promoting a corporate culture of change and innovation; advised on the preparation of Memorandum to Cabinet, Treasury Board Submissions on organization, operating procedures and program delivery; built the Departmental Secretariat, pulling together four highly decentralized offices of the former Federal Economic Development Coordinators; directed Ministerial and Senate relations; briefed the Minister and Deputy Minister for all appearances before the House and Senate Committees; and developed departmental systems and procedures to meet the Minister's and Deputy's information needs and those of the Atlantic caucus; planned and managed the work of the Committee of Atlantic Ministers and Senior Management Committee.

RESEARCH AND TRAINING
Since joining the academy in August 2000, I have supervised 31 MA students to successful completion, 3 directed studies, and sat on 4 graduate committees. I am currently supervising 13 MA students. My students to date have a 98% successful thesis completion rate. I encourage students to use my research on e-dialogues as a unique data collection and on-line focus group methodology which gives them experience in leading-edge research dissemination; 6 student-led e-dialogues have taken place. I work with my students to ensure that their research, where appropriate, is policy-relevant and grounded in the real world. For example, the case study tool is now integrated into my M.A. and M.Sc course, and their assignment is to apply their knowledge from the classroom to a selected case analysis. In the interests of timely research diffusion, I encourage them, upon completion of their thesis, to publish a journal article and a case study, again using the online case study tool. Three of my students have published in well-known peerreviewed journals and 8 have published a summary of their research online. My research program has engaged over 8 students as RAs and I have attracted a doctoral candidate and 3 post-doctoral scholars to work with me. I have encouraged my students to publish in my book compilations (3 of whom have published successfully), and have negotiated research time from the federal government for two to continue to work on my research projects, as research collaborators.
